Bronies: The Extremely Unexpected Adult Fans of My Little Pony is a documentary film that explores the phenomenon of grown men, known as bronies, who are passionate fans of the animated TV show My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. The film examines the lives and motivations of several bronies, ranging from teenagers to middle-aged men, and delves into the reasons why they have become so engaged with a show originally marketed to young girls. The film also features interviews with show creators, voice actors, and cultural commentators, who offer insight into the broader cultural implications of the brony phenomenon. Through its exploration of the unusual intersection of gender, age, and fandom, Bronies sheds light on the ways in which subculture communities can emerge in unexpected ways. The film was directed by Laurent Malaquais and premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in April 2012.
